And what’s your story, Dee?
“Once in a night” by Alf Sukatmo. Vector artwork.
Once
At night
There was a monster in her room
A dragon, she screamed
I am a lizard, said the beast
Shoo.. shoo, she said
Ssshh.., hissed the beast
And jumped off the bed
The beast was running away
Before her father came

Today
She wants to be a dancer
Wraps a cloth around her body
Hands stretch, hip to the right
A smile on her face
And the rest of my day will be alright
“The Paper Boats” by Alf Sukatmo. Vector artwork.
Dee asked me to teach her how to made the boats and a pirate hat from unused brochures and a piece of old newspaper.
“Well sure, why not,” i said.
“Can we play it together?” she asked.
I had a deadline coming up, but she had no one to play with except me, and i didn’t want to disappoint her.
So, i decided to made her several boats and a hat, but she refused, all that she asked was i taught her how to make them. It sure going to take a little longer time, but again, she had her way to melt a father heart (and made her father ignoring upcoming deadline.)
After all that was finish, we played the pirate, i am the pirate and she still held her role, as pirate’s daughter. And guess what, even a quiet man can do sword dance if his little daughter requested him.
A simple request from a daughter and a simple moment on a simple day of a father have delivered, i still had enough time to meet the deadline and even made this picture. I watch her as she sleeps, a smile, a beautiful smile on her lips complete my perfect evening.
